Hi,
i run moused on boot through rc.conf, but if i choose /dev/sysmouse as mouse  device in XF86Config the mouse behaves really weird. it's kind of hard to explain, but if i move the cursor too fast the buttons seem to "lag". for example, when i try to select a string; if i move the cursor too fast over the area i want to select it skips the first few characters in the string but it works well if i do it slowly.

i also noticed that moused cancels the option to use /dev/psm0 (it's a ps2 mouse)  in XF86Config, but if i kill it before i start x the mouse works like it should.

is this a known "bug slash feature"? can anyone think of a way to get the mouse to work both as moused and under x? i guess i could just start moused manually whenever i need it, but it would be nice to have a working system ;-)

thanks in anticipation,
Gustaf Sjoberg
